TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 People who don't slide the box-cutter blade back into its casing. It's called safety! The worst perpetrator of this at work is the guy who had to get stitches last year for slicing his finger open on a box-cutter. He still hasn't learned. Owwwww. How do you not learn from that?

Kaymyth Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Owwwww. How do you not learn from that? Because he sliced himself on his own fancy one and not the one in the widget room? Maybe he's just not connecting the "I used the blade improperly" with "leaving the blade exposed is a recipe for disaster" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaymyth Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Seriously? I would say that's endangering the employees of Redacted Inc. Not hugely. It's those small ones with just barely a corner of a blade to them, and they tend to get gummed up on tape. It just annoys me because I'm exactly the sort of clumsy idiot who would accidentally grab the thing from the wrong end without looking closely.

I'm the kind of clumsy idiot who has actually stabbed herself with an X-acto knife in art class because I was dumb enough to cut towards my finger.

Orlion Blight Posted March 15, 2016 Report Share Posted March 15, 2016 The misuse of old dystopian literature to prove a point. You know, like saying something is like 1984. It almost never is, but that does not stop people. Recently, it's reference to the Sinclair Lewis novel, It Can't Happen Here, that is being used in a "See! We've been warned about people like Trump!" Except that it really isn't about people like Trump, even if it is about or concerned with the rise of fascism in America. No, the despot in this novel was based on a New Deal Socialist Democrat named Huey Long, who was going to campaign on a platform that is much more similar to Sanders campaign before he was assassinated. I mean, in an attempt to take down the other side and look "cultured" while you are at it, you end up giving ammunition to the other side. Le sigh.

TwiLyghtSansSparkles Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 (edited) Articles and blog posts touting the flaws of a vocal minority of millennials as if those flaws apply to everyone born between 1980 and 2000. Bonus points if it carries a title like "8 Harsh Realities Millennials Need to Get Used To" or "5 Things Christian Millennials Need to Stop Doing." Extra bonus points if those "flaws" aren't flaws at all, but merely components of a more liberal worldview. And if it's illustrated with a cartoon portraying millennials as crying, screaming babies marching on Washington bearing wooden swords labeled "social justice," then no. Just no. I'm done. Have some faith in your peers. Edited March 16, 2016 by TwiLyghtSansSparkles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delightful Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 I usually put complaints about millennial a down to "eh. The older generation always likes complaining about the younguns". And then I pay said articles no attention whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my family's social circles, it's become hip for conservative Millennials to complain about theif more liberal peers. It's gotten to the point where if you post a rebuttal to one of these, you open yourself up to all sorts of accusations. So I find it more aggravating.

The Invested Beard Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 To be honest a lot of the problems being faced in our country today are the result of the baby boomer generation, not millennials or Gen X. Now that being said, millennials will have to step up and try to fix said issues, but the results of that won't be known for another generation or so.

Orlion Blight Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 The guy is simple, I'd say. Part of the "get paid your value" crowd without really defining in any meaningful way what "value" is and how to determine where on the spectrum one falls.

Bowiespoon Posted March 21, 2016 Report Share Posted March 21, 2016 - when someone takes the last bag of popcorn and leaves the box in the pantry - when that someone then reads my books with greasy fingers.

Mestiv Posted March 29, 2016 Report Share Posted March 29, 2016 Acne Guys who think that body spray is a shower in a can People who try to sexualize everything Welcome to the world of 14-19 teenagers In defense of people who overuse deodorants, during puberty some people can have a serious problem with body odor. They can take a shower and after 5 minutes smell like if they didn't wash themselves for a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
